"ActiveProp delivers tremendous ROI by automating the creation of properties, producing high-quality results faster than ever thought possible,” said Kathryn Kranen, Jasper President and CEO. "Deploying ActiveProp standalone greatly improves verification efficiency for any assertion-based verification flow. It also has great synergy with Jasper formal solutions, to achieve faster proofs with JasperGold®, and for design leverage with ActiveDesign™.”

ActiveProp generates intelligent, high-quality properties (assertions, constraints and covers) automatically, and multiple simulation runs can further refine the intelligence of generated properties. Unique multi-cycle analysis contributes to property quality, and generates properties where the causal effects are far removed from the resulting effects, not just two or three cycles away. ActiveProp also handles hierarchy, extracting properties across different modules and levels of hierarchy.

The inputs to ActiveProp are RTL, simulation information and scoped signals of interest which the user can control. Any simulation or testbench, block, system&#8211;level, or full SoC, can be used as input. ActiveProp simulator input can be provided in two ways, either running ActiveProp on previously created simulation files, or linked during run time with the simulator. ActiveProp outputs industry-standard SVA properties, which are used in any assertion-based design and verification flow.

ActiveProp also features a number of pre-defined checks including static checks; checks for common design errors such as arithmetic overflow, bus conflicts and illegal clock-domain crossings; coverage checks for errors such as dead-end and unreachable states; and more.
